Us. Grateful for the journey of motherhood with these three amazing humans. They’ve shaped me in ways I never imagined, stretched me in ways I could not have predicted or anticipated, but forever grateful for the ability to grow with you. Always here for you, my loves, through every chapter and stage of life. 💕

p.s. I spy with my little eye, some very cute, little Leona, oobleck covered hands.

We have camp starting tomorrow!! Sign up with a friend and have the best creative play date! Each day is designed to make it feel like a celebration. Super fun projects and lots of creative free choice time too!!

Do Art is unique in its teaching approach to all art projects and introduction to art materials and follows Studio 4 Art pedagogy. Our curriculum is progressive, child-initiated, and thought-provoking. Studio 4 Art creates and writes all curriculum that is used at Do Art, training our teachers on our philosophies and procedures. How to teach the whole child and honor each as the individuals they are is a pretty special way of teaching. We provide growth in children through honoring ideas, executing dream designs, guidance through questions to engage problem-solving, build creative thought processes through mistake-making, and celebrate collaboration

🎁🌟 Give the gift of experiences and making fond memories, while supporting small women-owned businesses. ♥️ 🧡💛💚💙💜

Running art programs for 20 years has taught me that the experience of making with your hands is undeniably one of the best connections to self and community, so what better gift to give than creativity! 🎨✨

Having three studios to choose your experience, it could be pottery painting, a one-time wheel throwing class, parties, or giving a gift of one of our award-winning classes. We have had families give gift cards as stocking stuffers, Hanukkah gifts, or to put in a card from grandparents, for years, and they always share it’s one of their kids’ favorites. 🎉🎄🕎

So happy to be here to give you and your family one of the best gifts, creativity! And a HUGE thank you for your continued support! 🙏🎁
